Challenges

Can a 300 SF space support a premium dining experience?

— Tiny Space (300 SF)

— Landmarked Building

— Tight Budget (120K)

— Messy Existing Conditions (See picture*)

*Existing condition

Approaches

Designed and built as one process — not separate phases.

Layout, MEP, and construction details were aligned early, so every inch could perform with precision.

Thoughtful Layout

A carefully designed, highly efficient floor plan that supports smooth operations.

Execution

Millwork, seating, and lighting built to exact tolerances —
with continuous on-site coordination.

Customization

Maximize the unity of the space.

Lighting + Decor

Decor items and finishing surfaces that meets budget restraint but carry high aesthetic value.

The Process

From concept to construction — one continuous workflow.

  • Design decisions tested early

  • Construction coordinated in real time

  • No disconnect between drawing and execution

Design decisions tested early —
to ensure the layout works before construction begins.

Design

Permits (DOB/LPC/FDNY ) prepared and coordinated properly — to avoid delays and unexpected issues.

Permitting

Construction

Execution managed on site —
to ensure what’s built matches the design intent.

The Result

Seats 12 comfortably — while delivering a full omakase experience.

A small space that feels
intimate, controlled, and premium.

Expectation Achieved & Beyond

✔ Premium pricing ($100+ per person)

✔ Strong customer satisfaction (5-star Google reviews)

✔ Memorable dining experience.
